32 And he looked around to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace, and be healed of thy affliction.
35 While he was yet speaking, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain who said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
37 And he permitted no man to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
39 And when he had come in, he saith to them, Why make ye this tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth.
40 And they laughed at him. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the child, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the child was lying.
41 And he took the child by the hand, and said to her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Little girl, I say to thee, arise.
42 And immediately the child arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 And he charged them strictly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
CHAP. 6.
And he went out from there, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
2 And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From where hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. [1]
4 But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house.
5 And he could there do no mighty work, except that he laid his hands upon a few sick people, and healed them .
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages, teaching.
7 And he calleth to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them authority over unclean spirits;
8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only; no bag, no bread, no money in their purse: [2]
9 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
10 And he said to them, In whatever place ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
11 And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. [3]
12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them .
14 And king Herod heard of him ; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
15 Others said, That it is Elijah. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
16 But when Herod heard of him, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he hath risen from the dead.
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her.
18 For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: [4]
20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. [5]
21 And when a convenient day had come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief men of Galilee;
22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said to the girl, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
23 And he swore to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, to the half of my kingdom.
24 And she went forth, and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou shouldest give me immediately on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes who sat with him, he would not reject her.
27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, [6]
28 And brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl: and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his dead body, and laid it in a tomb.
30 And the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
31 And he said to them, Come ye yourselves aside into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 And they departed into a desert place in a boat by themselves.
33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran on foot there out of all cities, and went before them, and came together to him.
34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw many people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37 He answered and said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? [7]
38 He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all.
42 And they all ate, and were satisfied.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
